he'll probably win...
They were attempting to ruin a man and take his property over water lines? why didnt they just build around him as he originally asked? what is this dumb wasteful bitch doing in politics?

Because they probably don't own the rights to the property adjacent this mans and because the owner of that land would be happy to sell a few hundred yards at 200 times the market value, now the city absolutely desperately needs it and will pay to expedite the project. If they attempted to take that persons land I'm sure the neighbor who just fucked with the idiots running the city of Dallas would happily pass on the lawyers information who'd be all to happy to earn the same he earned from the earlier win 99% of the work already done.

You don't sell to them, you rent to them. And have a damned good lawyer go over the contract, making sure to give you all the rights.

So if they cant pay want they want, they just choose the sucker with the closet path and attempt to ruin them?!?! Sounds like a fraudulent case to me.
